Glavour, the eight-foot Jovian Viceroy of a conquered Earth, lounges arrogantly through his capital, where jungle has given way to the stately city of humanity's alien overlords.

S. P. Meek's 1931 novel is a sweeping military space opera of Earth under the heel of giant invaders from Jupiter, and the rebellion that stirs. Grand, colorful early pulp SF. Read it for a rousing tale of alien tyranny and human resistance, from the pages of the classic pulps.
